DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to detecting of danger our expressions based on a theme, or subject. The text data associated with the particular theme may be text data having a context associated with the particular theme. Examples of the particular theme, or subject, include: an earthquake disaster, reconstruction, power saving, an earthquake, and seismic sea waves (tsunami); a product name or service name of a particular corporation; and terms concerning confidential information, but the particular theme is not limited thereto. For example, the term “earthquake” and the term “reconstruction” can be used to identify the context of the particular theme “earthquake”. The theme identifying dictionary (292) includes words or phrases used for the particular theme.

Even in the case where a given word or phrase is not negative information in terms of the superficial impression of its characters (for example, a word or phrase that can be determined as a malicious slander from the superficial impression of its characters), the given word or phrase can be a dangerous expression in some cases if the given word or phrase is used in a context relating to a particular theme, or is used in a context relating to a particular theme in a particular period.

For example, it is assumed that a commentator insists on the importance of reconstruction assistance after an earthquake. It is also assumed that a user writes a comment that “the commentator bought too many batteries in a convenience store” on an electronic bulletin board. However, it is assumed that the contents of the comment are false or that the given user confuses the given commentator with someone else. Under such circumstances, eventually, the comment may lower the reputation of the commentator or may fall under defamation of the commentator, regardless of whether or not the contents of the comment of the user are true.

Further, for example, a comment about a product of a corporation or a comment about supports or services of a corporation, a public institution, or a restaurant may lower the reputation of the corporation, the public institution, or the restaurant in some cases based on the contents thereof and the period during which the comment is written, similarly to the above.

Further, for example, a comment about a nation, a community, or a particular person (for example, an election candidate, a co-worker, or a friend) may lower the reputation of the nation, the community, or the particular person, or may become a source of trouble or legally problematic in some cases based on the contents thereof and the period during which the comment is written, similarly to the above.

Accordingly, for example, for both SNS managers and SNS users, it is important to detect: not only words or phrases that can be determined as malicious slanders from the superficial impressions of their characters; but also words or phrases that can be dangerous expressions based on a particular theme or based on a particular theme and a particular period, and enable management of posting of the detected dangerous expressions.

FIG. 2A is a flow chart illustrating a processing flow of the dangerous expression learning phase in which an expression that can be a dangerous expression based on a particular theme is extracted using text data for learning, and a dangerous expression list is created, according to various embodiments. The electronic apparatus in the following description of FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B refers to the first electronic apparatus for carrying out the processing of the dangerous expression learning phase. In Block 201, the electronic apparatus starts the processing of the dangerous expression learning phase. In Block 202, the electronic apparatus receives text data for learning (291) in order to extract the expression that can be the dangerous expression based on the particular theme. The electronic apparatus may receive the text data for learning via, for example, a server computer or a recording medium (for example, a CD, a DVD, a USB memory, or a hard disk). The text data for learning is a set of text data from which malicious slanders are to be extracted, and may be a set of data on a blog or bulletin board. The text data for learning may be a set of tweets on Twitter® or a set of messages on FACEBOOK® or LINE®. In Block 203, the electronic apparatus acquires a subset of text data associated with the particular theme, from the text data for learning received in Block 202. The electronic apparatus can identify the text data associated with the particular theme using, for example, a theme identifying dictionary (292), to thereby acquire the subset of text data.

The text data associated with the particular theme may be text data having a context associated with the particular theme. Examples of the particular theme include: an earthquake disaster, reconstruction, power saving, an earthquake, and seismic sea waves (tsunami); a product name or service name of a particular corporation; and terms concerning confidential information, but the particular theme is not limited thereto. For example, the term “earthquake” and the term “reconstruction” can be used to identify the context of the particular theme “earthquake”. The theme identifying dictionary (292) includes words or phrases used for the particular theme.

The details of Block 203, that is, the details of a process for acquiring the subset of text data associated with the particular theme are described in the following description of FIG. 2B. In Block 204, in order to narrow down the subset of text data to text data containing negative information (text data having a context of the negative information) using superficial (character appearance-based) negative information, the electronic apparatus first identifies a word or phrase that falls under the negative information, in the subset of text data (that is, the text data associated with the particular theme) acquired in Block 203. The electronic apparatus can identify a word or phrase that falls under the negative information using, for example, a negative information dictionary (293).

Examples of the negative information include words and phrases that fall under malicious slanders (for example, fake, problem, should stop doing, should resign, prevent, sad, ugly, stupid, incompetent, liar, sad, unforgivable, bad, horrible, hypocrite, ostracism, and backroom influence), restricted words and phrases (for example, restricted words and phrases designated by a government or a corporation), words and phrases that fall under rumor information (for example, product defect and decrease in service), words and phrases that fall under divulging of information (for example, divulging of information, leakage of information, confidential information, company secret, department secret, and patent prior to the filing of the patent application), and such words and phrases that evoke a sign of foul play (for example, suicide and murder), regardless of contexts. The negative information dictionary (293) includes words or phrases that fall under the above-mentioned negative information. A specific example of Block 204, that is, an example of identifying a word or phrase that falls under the negative information is illustrated in FIG. 5 to be described later.

In Block 205, in order to narrow down the subset of text data to the text data containing the negative information (the text data having the context of the negative information) using the superficial (character appearance-based) negative information, the electronic apparatus then extracts text data containing the word or phrase identified in Block 204, from the subset acquired in Block 203. A specific example of Block 205, that is, an example of extracting the text data containing the negative information is illustrated in FIG. 5 to be described later.

In Block 206, the electronic apparatus identifies the following word or phrase from the text data extracted in Block 205 (that is, the text data that is associated with the particular theme and contains the negative information): (1) a word or phrase having a high correlation with the text data extracted in Block 205; or (2) a word or phrase having a high appearance frequency in the text data extracted in Block 205.

On arbitrary method known by those skilled in the art can be used as a method for identifying a word or phrase having a high correlation with the text data. Such a word or phrase having a high correlation with the text data can be identified according to, for example, the following method. It is assumed that: the number of documents of the entire text data is D; the number of documents of a subset of the text data is A; the number of documents including a given word or phrase w is B; and the number of documents including w among the documents of the subset of text data is C. In this case, if CD/AB is larger than 1, w is identified as the word or phrase having a high correlation with the text data.

In identifying the word or phrase from the text data, the electronic apparatus can identify a co-occurrence expression of at least two words as an expression that can be a dangerous expression. Co-occurrence of words or phrases having a high correlation with the text data can be identified according to, for example, the following method. It is assumed that: the number of documents of the entire text data is D; the number of documents of a subset of the text data is A; the number of documents including both given words or phrases w1 and w2 is B; and the number of documents including both w1 and w2 among the documents of the subset of text data is C. In this case, if CD/AB is larger than 1, co-occurrence (w1, w2) is identified as the co-occurrence of the words or phrases having a high correlation with the text data.

In Block 207, the electronic apparatus extracts the word or phrase identified in Block 206, as the expression that can be the dangerous expression based on the particular theme used in Block 203. Further, the electronic apparatus can extract the particular theme used in Block 203 together with the expression that can be the dangerous expression. The expression that can be the dangerous expression based on the particular theme is the one which may not be negative information (for example, the words and phrases that fall under the malicious slanders) in terms of the entire text, but becomes a dangerous expression if it is considered in connection with a particular theme.

The electronic apparatus can store, into a dangerous expression list (294), the extracted expression that can be the dangerous expression, in association with the particular theme. Accordingly, the dangerous expression list (294) includes data in which a particular theme and at least one expression that can be a dangerous expression associated with the particular theme are paired. The dangerous expression list (294) is used in the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase illustrated in FIG. 6 to be described later (see Block 607 in FIG. 6).

In Block 208 that is on arbitrary block, in order to determine whether or not to move on to the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase, the electronic apparatus determines whether or not text data to be analyzed exists. If the text data to be analyzed exists, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 602 in FIG. 6. Meanwhile, if no text data to be analyzed exists, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 209. In Block 209, the electronic apparatus ends the processing of the dangerous expression learning phase.

FIG. 2B is a flow chart illustrating the details of the process (the process for acquiring the subset of text data associated with the particular theme from the text data for learning) in Block 203 in the processing flow of the dangerous expression learning phase illustrated in FIG. 2A. In Block 211, the electronic apparatus starts the process for acquiring the subset of text data associated with the particular theme from the text data for learning. In Block 212, the electronic apparatus determines whether or not to acquire the subset of text data according to the following determining method 1-1. The determining method 1-1 is as follows: (1) identify a range of a predetermined number of characters or a predetermined number of words before and after a word or phrase that exists in the text data for learning (291) and is included in the theme identifying dictionary (292), as text data 1 associated with the particular theme; or (2) identify the same sentence, paragraph, item, or document including text data containing a word or phrase included in the theme identifying dictionary (292), as the text data 1 associated with the particular theme.

If the subset of text data is acquired according to the determining method 1-1, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 213. Meanwhile, if the subset of text data is not acquired according to the determining method 1-1, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 214. In Block 213, the electronic apparatus acquires the text data 1 associated with the particular theme from the text data for learning, according to the determining method 1-1.

According to the former of the determining method 1-1, a range of a predetermined number of characters or a predetermined number of words before and after a word or phrase that appears in the text data for learning (291) and is included in the theme identifying dictionary (292) is identified as the text data associated with the particular theme. Accordingly, the identified text data may not be a complete sentence sectioned by punctuation marks in some cases. The identified text data is also a context relating to the particular theme. For example, it is assumed that the term “reconstruction” that is included in the theme identifying dictionary (292) and exists in the text data for learning (291) is used to identify text data associated with the particular theme “earthquake”. For example, in the case where the text data is written in Japanese, the electronic apparatus can identify a range of a predetermined number of characters or a predetermined number of words before and after the term “Fukko” (Japanese; “reconstruction” in English), which may be a range of, for example, 60 characters before and after the term “Fukko” (Japanese) or a range of, for example, 20 words before and after the term “Fukko” (Japanese), as the text data 1 associated with the particular theme “earthquake”. Further, for example, in the case where the text data is written in English, the electronic apparatus can identify a range of, for example, 120 characters before and after the term “reconstruction” (English) or a range of, for example, 20 words before and after the term “reconstruction” (English), as the text data 1 associated with the particular theme “earthquake”.

According to the latter of the determining method 1-1, the same sentence, paragraph, item, or document including text data containing a word or phrase included in the theme identifying dictionary (292) is identified as the text data associated with the particular theme. The identified text data is also a context relating to the particular theme. Examples of the document include one message on Twitter®, FACEBOOK®, or LINE®, one message transmitted by an e-mail program, and one comment on an electronic bulletin board. For example, it is assumed that the term “earthquake” that is included in the theme identifying dictionary (292) and exists in the text data for learning (291) is used to identify text data associated with the particular theme “earthquake”. The electronic apparatus identifies the same sentence, paragraph, item, or document including text data containing the term “earthquake”, as the text data 1 associated with the particular theme “earthquake”.

In Block 214, the electronic apparatus determines whether or not to acquire the subset of text data according to the following determining method 1-2. The determining method 1-2 is as follows: Identify text data 2 associated with the particular theme using a learned learning model. If the subset of text data is acquired according to the determining method 1-2, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 215. Meanwhile, if the subset of text data is not acquired according to the determining method 1-2, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 216.

In Block 215, the electronic apparatus acquires the text data 2 associated with the particular theme from the text data for learning, according to the determining method 1-2. The learned learning model is generated according to an arbitrary method for machine learning known by those skilled in the art. An example method for generating the learned learning model is described later with reference to FIG. 3. Further, a method for identifying the text data 2 associated with the particular theme using the learned learning model is described later with reference to FIG. 4. In Block 216, the electronic apparatus determines whether or not to acquire the subset of text data according to the following determining method 1-3. The determining method 1-3 is as follows: identify text data 3 associated with the particular theme using particular time period information, and if the subset of text data is acquired according to the determining method 1-3, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 217. Meanwhile, if the subset of text data is not acquired according to the determining method 1-3, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 218. In Block 217, the electronic apparatus acquires the text data 3 associated with the particular theme from the text data for learning, using the determining method 1-3.

The particular time period information may be information that enables on association between a period and a context of a particular theme. The particular time period information is, for example, on and after Mar. 11, 2011 (Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in Japan). The particular time period information “Mar. 11, 2011”, which is associated with the particular theme “earthquake”, can be used to identify the text data associated with the particular theme “earthquake”.

In Block 218, the electronic apparatus performs a set operation on the pieces of text data 1, 2, and 3 respectively acquired in Block 213, Block 215, and Block 217. The set operation includes, for example, intersection and union. The electronic apparatus performs the set operation to thereby acquire the subset of text data associated with the particular theme. Note that, in the case where the acquired text data is any one of the pieces of text data 1, 2, and 3, the electronic apparatus regards the one piece of text data as the subset of text data associated with the particular theme. In Block 219, the electronic apparatus ends the process for acquiring the subset of text data associated with the particular theme from the text data for learning.

FIG. 3 illustrates a model diagram for creating the learned learning model used to identify the text data associated with the particular theme from the text data for learning, in the processing of the dangerous expression learning phase according to various embodiments. The learned learning model can be created by the first electronic apparatus or an electronic apparatus other than the first electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus in the following description of FIG. 3 refers to the first electronic apparatus or an electronic apparatus other than the first electronic apparatus. In Block A, the electronic apparatus receives original data to be inputted to a learning machine, that is, a group (301) of original data of “text data with a label for context learning”. The electronic apparatus may receive the group (301) of original data via, for example, a server computer or a recording medium (for example, a CD, a DVD, a USB memory, or a hard disk). In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the group (301) of original data contains pieces of original data (311) to (315), but it should be noted that various embodiments is not limited thereto.

The group (301) of original data is a document data set prepared separately from the text data for learning illustrated in Block 202 of FIG. 2A. The group (301) of original data may be a set of tweets on Twitter® or a set of messages on FACEBOOK® or LINE®. As illustrated in FIG. 3, 0 (311) or at least one (312 to 315) tag is given to each of the pieces of original data (311) to (315). The tag indicates, for example, whether or not the original data is text data that falls under “earthquake”. The tag may be given to the original data automatically by the electronic apparatus or manually by a user as needed.

In Block B, the electronic apparatus creates a group (321) of text data with a label for context learning, in order to create a learning model from each of the received pieces of original data (311) to (315). In the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the group (321) of text data with a label for context learning contains pieces of text data with a label for context learning (331) to (335), but it should be noted that various embodiments is not limited thereto.

Each of the pieces of text data with a label for context learning (331) to (335) contains information (bag-of-words) of each word and the number of times of appearance thereof in each of the pieces of original data (311) to (315). Further, for example, in the case where the original data is text data that falls under the particular theme “earthquake”, that is, in the case where the original data has a tag of “Great East Japan Earthquake”, “earthquake”, or “reconstruction assistance”, the electronic apparatus gives a label of “earthquake” to text data with a label for context learning corresponding to the original data. Accordingly, in the example illustrated in FIG. 3, the electronic apparatus gives the label of “earthquake” to the pieces of text data with a label for context learning (332), (334), and (335), of the pieces of text data with a label for context learning (331) to (335). The electronic apparatus inputs the information (bag-of-words) of each word and the number of times of appearance thereof in each of the pieces of original data (311) to (315), and a label (yes/no) indicating whether or not each of the pieces of text data with a label for context learning (331) to (335) is text data that falls under “earthquake”, to the learning machine (for example, a logistic regression model). That is, the electronic apparatus vectorizes the pieces of text data with a label for context learning (331) to (335) using the bag-of-words, and inputs the obtained vectors as dependent variables, and the labels (yes/no) indicating whether or not the pieces of text data with a label for context learning (331) to (335) fall under the particular theme “earthquake” as objective variables, to the learning machine (for example, a logistic regression model), whereby the learning machine is caused to learn. In the electronic apparatus, on arbitrary learning machine known by those skilled in the art can be used for the learning machine. The electronic apparatus creates the learned learning model on the basis of the above-mentioned inputs to the learning machine.

Although the logistic regression model is described in the above, various other methods (such as a k-nearest neighbor algorithm, a simple Bayesian method, a decision list method, a maximum entropy method, a support vector machine method, a neural network method, and a multiple regression analysis method) can be used. These methods are all known by those skilled in the art, and hence description thereof is omitted herein.

FIG. 4 illustrates a model diagram for identifying the text data associated with the particular theme from the text data for learning, using the learned learning model, in the processing of the dangerous expression learning phase according to various embodiments. The electronic apparatus in the following description of FIG. 4 refers to the first electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus determines whether or not text data for learning (401) is the text data associated with the particular theme, using a learned learning model (403) created as illustrated in FIG. 3.

The electronic apparatus vectorizes the text data for learning (401) using a bag-of-words according to a method similar to that illustrated in FIG. 3. Then, the electronic apparatus inputs, for each piece of text data, the text data for learning (401) in a bag-of-words form (411) to a learned learning machine (402). The learning machine (402) returns an output as to whether or not each piece of text data is the text data associated with the particular theme (Yes=the text data is the text data associated with the particular theme; No=the text data is not the text data associated with the particular theme), to the electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus acquires the output (Yes, No) from the learning machine (402), and acquires a set of text data for which the output is yes, as a subset associated with the particular theme.

FIG. 5 illustrates a model diagram for identifying a word or phrase that falls under negative information (Block 204), extracting text data containing the negative information (Block 205), and extracting an expression that can be a dangerous expression based on a particular theme, from the extracted data (Blocks 206, 207), in the processing of the dangerous expression learning phase according to various embodiments. The electronic apparatus in the following description of FIG. 5 refers to the first electronic apparatus.

A group (501) of text data illustrated in FIG. 5 is part of the subset of text data (that is, the text data associated with the particular theme “earthquake”) acquired in Block 203 illustrated in FIG. 2. The group (501) of text data includes pieces of text data (511) to (515). The electronic apparatus identifies a word or phrase that falls under the negative information, in the group (501) of text data, using the negative information dictionary (293) (see Block 204). The pieces of negative information in the pieces of text data (511) to (515) are respectively “problem”, “prevent”, “should stop doing”, “fake”, and “sad” (portions identified by single underlines). The electronic apparatus extracts the pieces of text data (511) to (515) respectively containing the pieces of negative information “problem”, “prevent”, “should stop doing”, “fake”, and “sad” (Block 205). Although not illustrated in FIG. 5, text data containing no negative information is not extracted.

Subsequently, the electronic apparatus identifies words having a high appearance frequency in the extracted pieces of text data (511) to (515). The electronic apparatus identifies a co-occurrence expression of “buy” and “battery” as the words having a high appearance frequency (Block 206). Then, the electronic apparatus extracts the identified words “buy” and “battery” as an expression that can be a dangerous expression based on the particular theme “earthquake”. Further, the electronic apparatus extracts the particular theme “earthquake”. The electronic apparatus stores, into the dangerous expression list (294), the extracted expression “buy” and “battery” that can be the dangerous expression, in connection with the particular theme “earthquake”.

In the method described above, the electronic apparatus identifies a word or phrase that falls under the negative information, in the group (501) of text data, using the negative information dictionary (293), and extracts text data containing the word or phrase that falls under the negative information. Alternatively, the electronic apparatus may extract the text data containing the word or phrase that falls under the negative information, from the group (501) of text data, using the learned learning model. Description is given below of the method for extracting the text data containing the word or phrase that falls under the negative information, from the group of text data, using the learned learning model.

Similarly to Block 215 of FIG. 2B, the learned learning model is generated using on arbitrary method for machine learning known by those skilled in the art. The learned learning model can be created by the first electronic apparatus or an electronic apparatus other than the first electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus in the following description of the method for generating the learned learning model refers to the first electronic apparatus or an electronic apparatus other than the first electronic apparatus. In Block A, the electronic apparatus receives original data to be inputted to the learning machine, that is, a group of original data of “text data with a label for negative information learning”. The electronic apparatus may receive the group of original data via, for example, a server computer or a recording medium (for example, a CD, a DVD, a USB memory, or a hard disk).

The group of original data is a document data set prepared separately from the text data for learning illustrated in Block 202 of FIG. 2A. The group of original data may be a set of tweets on Twitter® or a set of messages on FACEBOOK® or LINE®. A label is given in advance to each piece of the original data. The label indicates whether or not the original data contains the negative information. Alternatively, the label may indicate whether or not the original data contains a word or phrase that falls under known negative information.

In Block B, the electronic apparatus creates a group of text data with a label for negative information learning, in order to create a learning model from each of the received pieces of original data. Each of the pieces of text data with a label for negative information learning contains information (bag-of-words) of each word and the number of times of appearance thereof in each of the pieces of original data.

The electronic apparatus inputs the information (bag-of-words) of each word and the number of times of appearance thereof in each of the pieces of original data, and a label (yes/no) indicating whether or not each of the pieces of text data with a label for negative information learning contains the negative information, to the learning machine (for example, a logistic regression model). That is, the electronic apparatus vectorizes each of the pieces of text data with a label for negative information learning using the bag-of-words, and inputs the obtained vectors as dependent variables, and the labels (yes/no) indicating whether or not each of the pieces of text data with a label for negative information learning contains the negative information as objective variables, to the learning machine (for example, a logistic regression model), whereby the learning machine is caused to learn. In the electronic apparatus, on arbitrary learning machine known by those skilled in the art can be used for the learning machine.

The electronic apparatus creates the learned learning model on the basis of the above-mentioned inputs to the learning machine. Subsequently, the electronic apparatus can extract the text data containing the word or phrase that falls under the negative information, from the group (for example, 501) of text data, using the learned learning model created as described above. The electronic apparatus vectorizes the text data for learning using the bag-of-words. Then, the electronic apparatus inputs, for each piece of text data, the text data for learning in a bag-of-words form to the learned learning machine.

The learning machine returns an output as to whether or not each piece of text data contains the negative information (Yes=the text data contains the negative information; No=the text data does not contain the negative information), to the electronic apparatus. The electronic apparatus acquires the output (Yes, No) from the learning machine, and acquires a set of text data for which the output is yes, as the text data containing the word or phrase that falls under the negative information.

Subsequently, the electronic apparatus identifies a word having a high appearance frequency in each of the acquired pieces of text data. Then, the electronic apparatus extracts the identified word as an expression that can be a dangerous expression based on the particular theme “earthquake”. Further, the electronic apparatus extracts the particular theme “earthquake”. The electronic apparatus stores, into the dangerous expression list (294), the extracted expression “buy” and “battery” that can be the dangerous expression, in association with the particular theme “earthquake”.

A group (521) of text data illustrated in FIG. 5 corresponds to the case where the text data (that is, the text data associated with the particular theme “earthquake”) acquired in Block 203 illustrated in FIG. 2A is English. Even in the case where the text data is written in English, similarly to Japanese, the electronic apparatus identifies a word or phrase that falls under negative information (Block 204), extracts text data containing the negative information (Block 205), and extracts an expression that can be a dangerous expression based on the particular theme “earthquake”, from the extracted data (Blocks 206, 207). Then, the electronic apparatus stores, into the dangerous expression list (294), the extracted expression “buy” and “battery” that can be the dangerous expression, in association with the particular theme “earthquake”.

Alternatively, the electronic apparatus extracts text data containing the word or phrase that falls under the negative information, from the group (501) of text data, using the learned learning model, and extracts an expression that can be a dangerous expression based on the particular theme “earthquake”, from the extracted data. Then, the electronic apparatus stores, into the dangerous expression list (294), the extracted expression “buy” and “battery” that can be the dangerous expression, in association with the particular theme “earthquake”.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart illustrating a processing flow of the dangerous expression detecting phase in which whether or not an expression that can be a dangerous expression based on a particular theme exists is detected from text data to be analyzed, according to various embodiments. The electronic apparatus in the following description of FIG. 6 refers to the first electronic apparatus or the second electronic apparatus for carrying out the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase. In Block 601, the electronic apparatus starts the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase. In Block 602, the electronic apparatus receives text data to be analyzed (691) in order to detect the expression that can be the dangerous expression based on the particular theme. The electronic apparatus can receive the text data to be analyzed through, for example, an input to the electronic apparatus by a user (for example, a tweet inputted to Twitter® or a message inputted to FACEBOOK® or LINE®) or via, for example, a client computer of the user or a recording medium (for example, a CD, a DVD, a USB memory, or a hard disk). The text data to be analyzed may be a tweet on Twitter® or a message on FACEBOOK® or LINE®.

In Block 603, the electronic apparatus acquires a subset of text data associated with the particular theme, from the text data to be analyzed received in Block 602. The electronic apparatus can identify the text data associated with the particular theme using, for example, a theme identifying dictionary (692), to thereby acquire the subset of text data. The theme identifying dictionary (692) may be the same as the theme identifying dictionary (292) illustrated in FIG. 2A. The details of Block 603, that is, a process for acquiring the subset of text data associated with the particular theme can be performed according to a method similar to the method described above with reference to FIG. 2B.

In Block 604, the electronic apparatus determines whether or not to execute a process for identifying a word or phrase that falls under the negative information, in the subset of text data (that is, the text data associated with the particular theme) acquired in Block 603. In carrying out the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase, Block 604 may not be executed for the following reason. That is, because the subset of text data associated with the particular theme is acquired in Block 603, if an expression that can be a dangerous expression is detected from the acquired subset, the expression that can be the dangerous expression based on the particular theme can be extracted. If the process for identifying a word or phrase that falls under the negative information is executed, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 605. Meanwhile, if the process for identifying a word or phrase that falls under the negative information is not executed, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 607.

In Block 605, in order to narrow down the subset of text data to text data containing the negative information (text data having a context of the negative information) using superficial (character appearance-based) negative information, the electronic apparatus first identifies a word or phrase that falls under the negative information, in the subset of text data (that is, the text data associated with the particular theme) acquired in Block 603. The electronic apparatus can identify a word or phrase that falls under the negative information using, for example, a negative information dictionary (693). The negative information dictionary (693) may be the same as the negative information dictionary (293) illustrated in FIG. 2A.

In Block 606, in order to narrow down the subset of text data to text data containing the negative information (text data having a context of the negative information) using superficial (character appearance-based) negative information, the electronic apparatus then extracts text data containing the word or phrase identified in Block 605, from the subset acquired in Block 603.

In Block 607, the electronic apparatus detects whether or not an expression that can be a dangerous expression that is included in a dangerous expression list (694) and is associated with the particular theme exists in the subset of text data (that is, the text data associated with the particular theme) acquired in Block 603 or in the text data (that is, the text data that is associated with the particular theme and contains the negative information) extracted in Block 606.

In Block 608, the electronic apparatus determines whether or not it is detected that the expression that can be the dangerous expression included in the dangerous expression list (694) exists. If it is detected that the expression that can be the dangerous expression exists, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 609. Meanwhile, if it is not detected that the expression that can be the dangerous expression exists, the electronic apparatus advances the processing to Block 610. If it is detected that the expression that can be the dangerous expression exists, in Block 609, the electronic apparatus executes a particular process. The particular process may be as follows, but is not limited thereto.

In the case where the first electronic apparatus executes the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase and where the first electronic apparatus is an electronic apparatus of a user client that provides the text data to be analyzed: stop or suspend transmission or upload of the text data to be analyzed onto a network connected to the first electronic apparatus; display, on the screen, an indication (for example, a warning indication) that the text data to be analyzed contains the expression that can be the dangerous expression; or display, on the screen, an indication of the particular theme and the number of times of appearance of the expression that can be the dangerous expression, based on the fact that the expression that can be the dangerous expression exists.

In the case where the first electronic apparatus executes the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase and where the first electronic apparatus is a server computer connected to the electronic apparatus of the user client that provides the text data to be analyzed: instruct the electronic apparatus of the user client to stop or suspend transmission or upload of the text data to be analyzed onto the network connected to the first electronic apparatus; instruct the electronic apparatus of the user client to display, on its screen, a message (for example, a warning indication) that the text data to be analyzed contains the expression that can be the dangerous expression; or instruct the electronic apparatus of the user client to display, on its screen, an indication of the particular theme and the number of times of appearance of the expression that can be the dangerous expression, based on the fact that the expression that can be the dangerous expression exists.

In the case where the second electronic apparatus executes the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase: stop or suspend transmission or upload of the text data to be analyzed onto a network connected to the first electronic apparatus; display, on the screen, an indication (for example, a warning indication) that the text data to be analyzed contains the expression that can be the dangerous expression; or display, on the screen, an indication of the particular theme and the number of times of appearance of the expression that can be the dangerous expression, based on the fact that the expression that can be the dangerous expression exists. In Block 610, the electronic apparatus ends the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase.

FIG. 7 illustrates an example in which, for example, an SNS management server provides an SNS user with a service that prevents a comment including an expression that can be a dangerous expression (an expression that can be a criticism) based on a particular theme (earthquake), in the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase according to various embodiments. A screen (701) shows a screen on which a user who uses an SNS site tries to input, on a user computer, a blog writing message (711) that is text data and post the inputted blog writing message (711). It is assumed that the user clicks a “POST” button on the screen (701). Based on the click, the user computer transmits the inputted blog writing message (711) to the management server (which falls under the second electronic apparatus) of the SNS site.

It is assumed that the management server of the SNS site receives the blog writing message (711) that is text data to be analyzed, from the user computer. The management server refers to the theme identifying dictionary (692), and determines that the blog writing message (711) is associated with the particular theme “earthquake”, on the basis of the fact that the blog writing message (711) includes the term “reconstruction”. The management server refers to the dangerous expression list (694), and detects whether or not an expression that can be a dangerous expression associated with the particular theme “earthquake” exists in the blog writing message (711). The management server detects that a co-occurrence expression of “buy” and “battery” that can be a dangerous expression associated with the particular theme “earthquake” exists in the blog writing message (711). Based on the detection of the fact that the co-occurrence expression that can be the dangerous expression associated with the particular theme “earthquake” exists, the management server transmits a command to display, on the user computer, a confirmation screen for confirming with the user whether or not to post the message.

Based on the reception of the command, the user computer displays a confirmation screen (721) on its display apparatus. The confirmation screen (721) includes a warning message (731), an expression that can be a dangerous expression (732), a particular theme (733), and a blog writing message (734). The warning message (731) can be a message for conveying to the user a problem that will be caused by posting the blog writing message (711). The expression that can be the dangerous expression (732) shows an expression that can be a dangerous expression based on the particular theme “earthquake”, in the blog writing message (711). The particular theme (733) shows a theme of the blog writing message (711). The blog writing message (734) corresponds to the blog writing message (711) inputted by the user. In the message (734), the expression that can be the dangerous expression (732) is emphatically displayed (for example, italicized, colored, or highlighted).

The user refers to the warning message (731) on the confirmation screen (721), and can select whether to continue the posting (“OK” button), change the contents to be posted (“REEDIT” button), or cancel the posting (“CANCEL” button). In this way, the management server can inform the user that the expression “buy” and “battery” that can be the dangerous expression based on the particular theme “earthquake” exists in the blog writing message (711). Accordingly, the management server can provide the user with a service that prevents a comment that can be a criticism based on the particular theme “earthquake”.

FIG. 8 illustrates an example in which, for example, a sender of information recognizes in advance a comment including an expression that can be a dangerous expression (an expression that can be a criticism) based on a particular theme (earthquake), in the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase according to various embodiments. A screen (801) shows a screen on which a user tries to input, on a user computer, a microblog writing message (811) that is text data and post the inputted microblog writing message (811). It is assumed that the user clicks a “POST” button on the screen (801). The user computer refers to the particular time period information, and determines that the blog writing message (811) is associated with the particular theme “earthquake”, on the basis of the fact that the microblog writing message (811) includes the term “created on: Mar. 20, 2011” or that the term “created on: Mar. 20, 2011” is associated with the microblog writing message (811) (for example, the term “created on: Mar. 20, 2011” is embedded as on attribute value in the microblog writing message (811)). The user computer refers to the dangerous expression list (694), and detects whether or not an expression that can be a dangerous expression associated with the particular theme “earthquake” exists in the microblog writing message (811). The user computer detects that a co-occurrence expression of “buy” and “water” that can be a dangerous expression associated with the particular theme “earthquake” exists in the microblog writing message (811).

Based on the detection of the fact that the co-occurrence expression that can be the dangerous expression associated with the particular theme “earthquake” exists, the user computer displays, on its display apparatus, a confirmation screen (821) for confirming with the user whether or not to post the message. The confirmation screen (821) includes a warning message (831), an expression that can be a dangerous expression (832), a particular theme (833), and a microblog writing message (834). The warning message (831) may be a message for conveying to the user a problem that will be caused by posting the microblog writing message (811). The expression that can be the dangerous expression (832) shows an expression that can be a dangerous expression based on the particular theme “earthquake”, in the microblog writing message (811). The particular theme (833) shows a theme of the microblog writing message (811). The blog writing message (834) corresponds to the microblog writing message (811) inputted by the user. In the message (834), the expression that can be the dangerous expression (832) is emphatically displayed (for example, italicized, colored, or highlighted).

The user refers to the warning message (831) on the confirmation screen (821), and can select whether to continue the posting (“OK” button), change the contents to be posted (“REEDIT” button), or cancel the posting (“CANCEL” button). In this way, the user computer can inform the user that the expression “buy” and “water” that can be the dangerous expression based on the particular theme “earthquake” exists in the microblog writing message (811). Accordingly, the user can recognize in advance a comment that can be a criticism based on the particular theme “earthquake”.

FIG. 9 illustrates an example in which, for example, the SNS management server shows a particular theme, an expression that can be a dangerous expression based on the particular theme, and the number of times of appearance of the expression that can be the dangerous expression, in the processing of the dangerous expression detecting phase according to various embodiments. The SNS management server presents, on a screen (901), particular themes (911, 921, 931), expressions that can be dangerous expressions (912, 922, 932) respectively based on the particular themes (911, 921, 931), and, arbitrarily, the respective numbers of times of appearance (913, 923, 933) of the expressions that can be the dangerous expressions (912, 922, 932), which are used as a tool for trend analysis. The SNS manager refers to the screen (901), and reads the particular themes (911, 921, 931), the expressions that can be the dangerous expressions (912, 922, 932), and the numbers of times of appearance (913, 923, 933), whereby the SNS manager can check how many expressions that can be dangerous expressions appear in which context.
